The process was very easy

The process was very easy. The reps were helpful in letting me know what was needed. The rate is significantly better than what it is now. My coverage is better than previous loan.

This was an absolute bait and switch…

This was an absolute bait and switch with this company. They do a soft credit check multiple times with me and tell me I'm at 5.5% for 60 months and then all the sudden after a load advisor calls you and spend 30 minutes wasting your time and having you upload documents they come back until it's 9.5. and then her only argument is that was at 12%. Absolutely ridiculous because that was 3 years ago and of course the rates were high. My credit score is 700 with Experian. These guys are rip offs I would stay away. What I suggest doing is just figuring out where your credit score is best on the three credit platforms and then reverse engineer which company uses that particular one. This was such a waste of time ( continued 4/15/26 after response from thenm) this was an automated response and did not address ANYTHING I mentioned about the bait and switch BS that goes on and the lack of english speaking people. you deserve ZERO stars after this response since you tried to through marketign into it!

was a slow start.

The only issue I experienced was trying to get an update before approval. seemed to take awhile to get confirmation of approval. I guess my loan officer must've had to many loans going across her desk. Had to escalate but was smooth after that. just waiting for payoff to process. But saving over $100 a month!
